[facts-i-just-made-up]

what kind of music was around in the 80s

The 80s contained three distinct types of music:

New Wave

Glam Metal

Gothic Rock

New Wave was the most popular type of music, using synthesizers and incorporating cues from the post-punk world. Groups like The Talking Heads, The Flock of Seagulls, and The Gary Numan all made music that sold like pop music, but also maintained the limited creative diversity and inoffensive lack of risk of pop music.

Glam Metal took the pioneering darkness and toughness of Heavy Metal pioneered by Black Sabbath, Motörhead and Iron Maiden, then replaced it with long hair, expensive jackets, and songs about partying. The most metal thing about glam metal bands were their logos, which were airbrushed to look like they were made of metal. Sadly, the addiction of many such musicians to very tight pants rendered them all incapable of having children, so this genre didn't last beyond the 80s.

Gothic Rock by contrast ignored all pretense of popularity and embraced the pretense of unpopularity. The best gothic rock was the least popular, which made it the most popular, which in turn made it suck. Thus no gothic rock band lasted more than two albums before switching genres, failing and breaking up, and then going back to their origins with a reunion tour. Such bands embraced the dark aesthetic of the gothic revival and wrote lyrics resembling poems by Edgar Allan Poe and Edward Gorey. They were also fond of skulls, bats, and taking black and white photos in graveyards. You can easily recognize real gothic rock by the tendency of its singers to sound like they have tonsillitis and, paradoxically given their usual diet, not enough coffee.

The 80s also contained the video for "Never Gonna Give You Up," which is well known online yet rarely recognized as the breakthrough video by Simon West, future director of Con-Air. That part's real btw.

TMNT: 40TH ANNIVERSARY COMICS CELEBRATION

July 2024

By Kevin Eastman, Edgar Alan Poe, Jim Lawson, Tristan Jones, Gary Carlson, Chris Allan, Erik Burnham, Lloyd Goldfine, Ciro Nieli, Andy Suriano, Tom Waltz, Ronda Pattison , Tom Napolitano, Steve Lavigne, Paul Harmon, Frank Fosco, Adam Guzowski, Sarah Myer, Luis Antonio Delgado, Shawn Lee, Khary Randolph, Emilio Lopez, Michael Dialynas, Pablo Tunica, Freddie E. Williams II, David Petersen, Ken Mitchroney, Aaron Hazouri, Dan Duncan, Sophie Campbell, Jodi Nishijima, Stan Sakai, and Emi Fujii.

Come and enjoy stories that will remind you of the 40 years of turtle history.

SCORE: 10 *

* Assuming you are familiar with these iterations.

This is a strange read, and curiously, there are three or four highlights for me, and they are not exactly the ones you would imagine.

Spoilers after the break...

The first story by Kevin Eastman is in the Mirage section of the book but... well... I'll leave at that... I wouldn't call it the Mirage we knew.

There is a story by Lawson and Lavigne with the Rat King that... it's fun. But, you know... I wouldn't even try to fit it in canon... the amount of continuity physics you need to bend to place this story is not worth the time. Just enjoy as a new story by these two iconic Mirage artists.

This other story by Tristan H. Jones and Paul Harmon requires more analysis. I'll revisit it on my gang wars video and try to give it more context... but unfortunately... it's just too vague. All I can say for sure is that it happens in the future of that incomplete saga, but the narrator just takes too many artistic choices to be taken at face value.

Also... I believe this is the first official (frontal) appearance of Agent Bishop (unless I got the character wrong, but Jones already tried to introduce him in this saga). I think he is still holding on to it, and I really hope he gets to tell his story. I wouldn't mind a mini-series... just saying!

The Volume 3 story was... not for me. The dialogue alone felt tired.

The Archie adventure was short, eventful, and funny... and it looks amazing too!

In just four pages a new character was introduced and... a new love story was implied! And it's not just a gratuitous cameo... this is a funny sequence.

The Saturday Morning Adventures (the de facto 87 story) looks amazing as usual, but I didn't find the story that interesting. However, it started a theme that would run across most of the stories in this special after this one: Master Splinter.

The 2003 story is a... loose canon?

Hun is Slash, and Shredder is back... so make of that what you want. All I'm going to say is that this felt a lot like watching the beginning of a 2003 episode, with the narration setting the tone.

The 2012 story was one of the least interesting in the previews, but I have to say... it was probably one of the best. It brought back a villain and it technically serves as an excuse to continue the series?

But to me the best thing about the story is the art. I am surprised Ciro Nieli didn't do more comic book work for the Turtles all these years. In fact, if they somehow decided to continue the 2012 universe in 2D in this style... I'm all in. Well, who am I kidding... I would be in anyway... but this looks amazing.

Andy Suriano did probably the most interesting story in the book. Now, I am not sure if his style doesn't translate well to static panels or what the problem is with the comic format... but it doesn't matter... this small story brought in a lot of things that ended on the editing floor after the show's second season was reduced to a few more episodes. There was a rumor about a female turtle, and not only it is here in all its glory, but there is also a brother?

And come on... it's so Lou Jitsu to die with a cliffhanger.

There are two IDW stories. One is another Splinter story, but the other one is perhaps one of the best in this book.

The Ronda Pattison story takes place just before the Armageddon game, and it shows the five turtles in full sibling dynamic (even Jennika). It was refreshing to see these turtles having fun for a change.

There are no stories by the new team, but... well... that's just starting.

Character Birthday Masterlist

This is as many birthdays as I could find for all the games I have played and anime's I have watched. Trust me there are more characters but some have no birthday dates posted. I will update this list as I go but you can always find this on my pinned post to come back and check the birthday calendars for each. I did want to do a calendar itself for each month but when so many have the same birthdate I found this harder to do so chose to just do a master list instead.

There was so many birthdays I had to start a 2nd list here is the link to the 2nd one HERE

Hi, I'm TheLooseEnd your local SCP writer, bookworm, professional plant dad, overachiever, worry-wart and definitely human. I love helping out, though I might be a little scared of starting a conversation, so it helps if you reach out to me first. 🕊

I'm best reached over Wikidot PMs under the username TheLooseEnd.

Note; I sometimes go through phases of depression and self-doubt. Sorry if I don't make as many cozy uplifting posts as usual. I'm still trying for you guys.

☘🌱🌿🌱☘🌱🌿🍀🌿🌱☘🌱🌿🌱☘

First a couple ground rules, alright?

1. Please no sexists, homophobes, transphobes, ableists, racists, xenophobes or any other group that uses hateful or cruel rhetoric towards another person. I won't engage with a troll comment or ask, I will simply block you. This is a safe space for my readers and I prefer to keep it that way.

2. Please do not engage with my posts if you're a minor, I would prefer minors stay away from SCP content because of the nature of the site's content and the rules of signing up. I understand the enthusiasm to get into the community, but maybe wait a bit, yeah?

3. Please do not repost my content and attempt to pass it off as your own. I have seen this happen to my work before and it was very scary.

4. Please do not pressure me to come back when I'm on hiatus. It makes me really anxious and tired, which makes me want to stay on hiatus longer...

Okay? Then we can go over fun things!

My Favorite Genres

I love absurdist and surreal fiction, as well as anything with cosmic horror, a bit of comedy too along with alternate histories, speculative fiction, stories that stretch the limits of their mediums and lots of worldbuilding. When it comes to writing, I mostly mix a lot of these.

Things to know about me:

I have autism and anxiety (both diagnosed), which makes it a little difficult for me to keep up with certain schedules outside my normal ones. This includes posting schedules and writing schedules. I might go on long hiatuses occasionally.

My pronouns are he/they, by the way. I put a lot of queer representation in my writing as a queer person, and I think it's important to have stories from historically overlooked perspectives told.

This is a blog that supports Disabled, Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ rights run by a disabled neurodivergent LGBTQ+ person.

An Important Message

I understand that as a creator I have influence over others, and I will choose whenever possible to use that influence to promote kindness, mindfulness and empathy, not just toward others but toward yourself as well. So, I've put some resources here for my readers.

Edna St. Vincent Millay: Do you have a favorite poem or one you can recite?

Thank you for the ask! (This was actually a double ask—the first one was here!)

I started answering this a bit ago, saved it in my drafts, and then panicked because I couldn’t find it immediately and I thought Tumblr had deleted it…but nope, it’s right here, just saved under the date it was asked (a few days ago) instead of the date I started to write my answer. So @dragoneye01 has gotten their answer in the form of both this published ask and a series of panicked DMs. That’s the way it goes on this hellsite, I guess.

Edna St. Vincent Millay: Do you have a favorite poem or one you can recite?

I’ll admit my taste in poetry is pretty basic (especially given I’m an English major), but here are a few I really like—and by a few, I mean eight-fucking-teen, because I couldn’t whittle down the list.

Alone - Edgar Allan Poe (when I was 15, lonely, and honestly quite pretentious and overdramatic, this one SPOKE to me)

America - Claude McKay

Antidotes to Fear of Death - Rebecca Elson

Aubade with Burning City - Ocean Vuong

A Bird Came Down the Walk - Emily Dickinson (I’m taking a whole class on her work this coming semester!!)

The Bells - Edgar Allan Poe (this is mainly because I sang a setting of it in 9th-grade choir and it was fun to sing the word “tintinnabulation”. By the way, semi-relevant post here)

A Brave and Startling Truth - Maya Angelou

How Things Work - Gary Soto

I’m Nobody! Who are you? - Emily Dickinson

Jabberwocky - Lewis Carroll (one of my last high school assignments was a presentation about nonsense poetry and how it’s translated, comparing this to the poems of Sukumar Ray in Bengali!)

Mock Orange - Louise Glück

Not an Elegy for Mike Brown - Danez Smith

The Old Astronomer to His Pupil - Sarah Williams (this is the one I often cite as my favorite poem of all time)

Planet of Love - Richard Siken

The Raven - Edgar Allan Poe (duh)

Sonnet 130 - William Shakespeare (my favorite of his sonnets, but not the one I was assigned as a member of my college’s Shakespeare club—that’s Sonnet 11)

To Live in the Borderlands - Gloria Anzaldúa

The Tradition - Jericho Brown (for my first-year writing seminar in college, I wrote a paper comparing this poem to Not an Elegy for Mike Brown, and I wrote some of the ideas of that essay in the tags here)

In terms of reciting poems, I’m pretty bad at committing poems to memory (weirdly, I feel like I’m actually better at memorizing prose). BUT, in fourth grade, I read every Shel Silverstein poetry compilation I could get my hands on, and those kinda stuck in my memory and remain there today, over a decade later. I can’t remember the exact wording of poems I wrote entire papers on, but I can still recite the entirety of Shel Silverstein’s “The Nap Taker” by heart.

The Influence of Gothic Culture on Modern Music

Gothic culture, with its dark, brooding aesthetic and profound thematic depth, has left an indelible mark on modern music. Emerging from the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s, gothic culture has developed to become a powerful force, influencing various genres, from gothic rock to darkwave, metal, and even electronic music. This article delves into the profound impact of gothic culture on modern music, exploring its roots, key influences, and its enduring legacy.

Origins and Evolution

Gothic culture finds its roots in the gothic rock scene, spearheaded by bands like Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Cure. These pioneers crafted a sound characterized by melancholic melodies, haunting lyrics, and a dark, atmospheric aesthetic. Their music, imbued with themes of existential dread, love and loss, and the macabre, set the stage for a cultural movement that would transcend music.

As gothic culture developed, it embraced elements from other genres. The ethereal wave brought a more ambient and dreamlike quality, while darkwave combined gothic rock's intensity with electronic music's hypnotic rhythms. This fusion of sounds and styles allowed gothic culture to permeate various musical landscapes, creating a diverse and ever-developing genre.

Key Influences

Thematic Depth: At the heart of gothic music lies a deep exploration of themes often shunned by mainstream culture. Existential angst, spiritual isolation, and the beauty found in darkness are common motifs. These themes resonate deeply with listeners seeking a more profound connection with music that mirrors their inner turmoil and reflective nature.

Aesthetic and Imagery: Gothic culture's visual aesthetic—marked by dark clothing, elaborate makeup, and a penchant for the theatrical—has influenced modern music's presentation. Artists like Marilyn Manson and Evanescence have adopted gothic visual elements to complement their music, creating a cohesive and immersive experience for their audience.

Literary Inspiration: Gothic literature, from the works of Edgar Allan Poe to Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," has been a significant source of inspiration for gothic musicians. The storytelling aspect of gothic literature, with its rich, atmospheric descriptions and complex characters, translates seamlessly into the lyrical and conceptual aspects of gothic music.

Modern Gothic Music

Today, the influence of gothic culture is evident in the works of artists across various genres. Bands like Nightwish and Within Temptation have melded gothic aesthetics with symphonic metal, creating grandiose soundscapes that evoke both beauty and despair. Electronic artists such as Gary Numan and Depeche Mode have incorporated dark, gothic elements into their synth-driven music, proving the genre's versatility.

The rise of neoclassical darkwave, spearheaded by acts like Dead Can Dance, has brought a new dimension to gothic music, blending classical influences with haunting, ethereal sounds. This genre's fusion of ancient and modern elements exemplifies gothic culture's ability to adapt and evolve while maintaining its core essence.

The Enduring Legacy

The enduring appeal of gothic culture in modern music lies in its ability to provide an emotional outlet and a sense of community for those who feel marginalized or disconnected from mainstream society. Its themes of existential reflection and spiritual exploration resonate across generations, offering solace and understanding to listeners.

Moreover, the visual and thematic richness of gothic culture continues to inspire artists to push boundaries and explore new creative territories. As music continues to evolve, the shadows cast by gothic culture will undoubtedly continue to shape and influence the artistic landscape.

In conclusion, the influence of gothic culture on modern music is because of its profound emotional depth and aesthetic power. From its origins in gothic rock to its pervasive presence across multiple genres, gothic culture remains a vital and transformative force in the world of music. Its ability to evoke deep emotions, challenge societal norms, and inspire artistic innovation ensures that the gothic spirit will endure, resonating through the shadows of modern music for years to come.

This is the 2005 Christmas Station ID of GMA. The Christmas Station ID was themed “Kapuso, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko”.

The Christmas Station ID Theme was sung Martin Nievera, Sharon Cuneta, Gary Valenciano, Pops Fernandez, Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez featuring the Christmas Carollers from GMA and the original cast from the TV5 sketch comedy show Goin’ Bulilit. Somehow, The Christmas Station ID was shortened due to the video. Somehow, Starting in December 1, 2005, The song “Star ng Pasko” can be heard in DZBB Radyo 594 and various radio stations nationwide where it was extended. Somehow, This Christmas Station ID occurred before Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez’s wedding in December 30, 2005 which was 1 day before Ogie Alcasid’s birthday.

The Christmas Station ID contains Martin Nievera who is riding on a Jeepney, Heart Evangelista, Erich Gonzales, Dimples Romana, Gabby Concepcion with his daughter KC Concepcion, Eddie Gutierrez and Ruffa Gutierrez, Chad Kinis, Jerome Ponce, Janice de Belen, Arcee Muñoz, Alice Dixson, Tuesday Vargas, Ritz Azul, Eula Caballero, Paolo Bediones, Sharon Cuneta, Rodolfo “Dolphy” Quizon, Piolo Pascual, Willie Revillame, Janno Gibbs, Mike Enriquez, Henry Omaga-Diaz, Jessica Soho, Karen Davila, Amelyn Veloso, Cheryl Cosim, Alvin Elchico, Anthony Taberna, Sunshine Dizon, Sue Ramirez, Cesar Montano, Ogie Diaz, Arthur Solinap, Joem Bascon, Jodi Sta. Maria, Richard Yap, Albert Martinez, John Lloyd Cruz, Carl Cervantes, Jayson Gainza, Patrick Garcia, AJ Perez, Arjo Atayde, Christian Bables, Terence Baylon, Derek Ramsay, JM de Guzman, Jeric Gonzales, Eric Fructuoso, Michael V., Allan K., Edu Manzano, Jericho Rosales, JC de Vera, Martin Escudero, Gerald Anderson, Sef Cadayona, Edgar Allan Guzman, IC Mendoza, Xian Lim, Luis Manzano, Matteo Guidicelli, John Prats, Ces Oreña-Drilon, Carmina Villaroel, Eugene Domingo, Nora Aunor, Leandro Muñoz, Kristine Hermosa, Meg Imperial, Gelli de Belen, Zoren Legaspi, Mark Lapid, Cherie Gil, Raymart Santiago, Albie Casiño, Lovely Abella, Wendell Ramos, Zanjoe Marudo, DingDong Avanzado, Pen Medina, Ping Medina, Alex Vincent Medina, Eric Quizon, Epy Quizon, Richard Gutierrez, Raymond Gutierrez, Polo Ravales, Christopher de Leon, Richard Gomez and his wife Lucy Torres-Gomez, Janine Gutierrez, Roxanne Guinoo, Joyce Jimenez, Maricel Soriano, Candy Pangilinan, Julia Montes, Angel Locsin, Coleen Garcia, Shaina Magdayao, Ellen Adarna, Louise de los Reyes, Jessie Mendiola, Ivana Alawi, Maja Salvador, Pooh, Pokwang, Valerie Concepcion, Shawn Yao, Keempee de Leon, Eula Valdez, RK Bagatsing, Ian Veneracion, Claudine Barretto, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Kim Atienza, Charo Santos-Concio, Cherry Pie Picache, Judy Ann Santos, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, Jess Lapid Jr., Vhong Navarro, Isko Moreno, Mico Halili, JP de Guzman, Mel Martinez, Neil Ryan Sese, Long Mejia, Jolo Revilla, Bong Revilla, Jhong Hilario, Oyo Boy Sotto, Gian Sotto, McCoy de Leon, John Estrada, Ryan Agoncillo, Maine Mendoza, Catherine Bernardo, RJ Padilla, Aga Muhlach, Bembol Roco, Geoff Eigenmann, Gabby Eigenmann, Bernard Palanca, Mico Palanca, featuring child actress Angelica Panganiban who is an original cast member of Goin’ Bulilit, the original cast of Goin’ Bulilit, the Spice Girls, the supergroup Group of 30, the SexBomb Girls and DJ Lance the Dinosaur from Sesame Street. The Christmas Station ID features the pre-debut of South Korean boy band BigBang, the characters from Disney’s Blues Clues including Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse with his wife Russi Taylor, the voice of Minnie Mouse and president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo who turns on the Christmas Lights and hugs Angelica Panganiban at the very end. Sadly, Fernando Poe Jr. and Mark Gil don’t appear in the 2005 Christmas Station ID because Fernando Poe Jr. died in September 11, 2005 of leukemia and Mark Gil died in November 11, 2005 due to a respiratory failure.
